The Mississippi Senate voted Wednesday evening
to pass a religious freedom bill which some say could have sweeping
anti-LGBT repercussions for the United States.
The Republican-dominated Senate voted 31-17 to
pass the controversial bill, called the "Protecting Freedom of
Conscience From Government Discrimination Act."
The legislation says
that businesses, social workers and public employees cannot be punished
for denying services based on the belief that marriage is between a man
and a woman or that "sexual relations are properly reserved to such a
marriage." It also protects individuals who believe gender is determined
at birth.
